Greek Open-Air Cinemas Offer Movie Magic Under Starry Nights

Catch a movie under the stars while in Greece at one of the magical open-air cinemas of Greece. The smell of jasmine, a soft summer breeze and a cool beer at hand is the stuff Greek summer nights are made of.

IN ATHENS

Cine Thisio (foot of the acropolis, 7 Apostolou Pavlou, Thisseion) lives up to its CNN description as one of the most enjoyable open-air cinemas in the world, then there’s Cine Paris (22 Kydathinaion Street, Plaka) that opened in 1920 and the Guardian describes as one of the best open-air cinemas in Europe.

Athenians are spoilt for choice when it comes to summer cinemas with at least one at every neighborhood.

IN MYKONOS

Enjoy a movie while lying in your hammock at Cine Manto on the party island of Mykonos. Alternatively, sit at one of the tables and enjoy a movie while eating dinner with all the trimmings. The Independent has rated this open-air cinema as one of the best in the world.

IN SANTORINI

Travelaway.me joins the Guardian and Travel Channel in listing Cine Kamari, created in 1987, as one of the best open-air cinemas in the world. The cinema, located just outside the coastal area of Kamari, is charming with its bar selling snacks, cocktails, and local wine. It also hosts various cultural events, including concerts, theater plays, and art exhibitions.
